Abstract
Several complications such as the poor health of the queen, injury, aging, exposure to pesticides, pathogens, parasites, colony collapse disorder, idiopathic brood disease syndrome, etc. are associated with the queen loss and ultimately loss of the colony. The technique of rearing queen bee from the one- day old totipotent larva by using grafting method is described in this review article. Various tools are used for dry, wet grafting and for rearing the honey bees. The objective of this paper is to get acquainted with the artificial queen rearing method to rear several honeybees in a short period to generate several colonies from a single colony. This method plays a significant role in generating several honeybee colonies for research work focused at the behavioural and physiological aspects of queen bee.
